I just wanted to wish everyone luck
I for one am going to need a phenergan drip for the next three weeks..

Holy Crap,
The kid with a 212 step 1 score got in =) I'm seriously stunned..doesn't seem real.
I'm also stunned that there are 8 unfilled spots! That's good news to anyone who did not match 👍![]()
So I realize I'm probably totally overanalyzing..but I honestly can't sleep b/c of this little nagging feeling I have.
Here is what is keeping me awake:
I ranked 8 radonc programs. At the end of my rank list, since I wasn't positive I would match, I ranked as my #9 choice a prelim medicine year all by it's lonesome self.
Is it possible that the "congratulations you matched" email means that I only got that? Or do you have to get both residency AND prelim to be considered matched (EVEN IF ONE OF YOUR ROL CHOICES IS TO MATCH IN A PRELIM YEAR ALONE????)
If anyone knows the answer, I'd really appreciate it!! Thank you! ND

Thanks NNy! I called a few friends who researched this thoroughly and it sounds like I'm all good. Now I can get some sleep...😴 Thanks for your help! ND.
Napolean, RELAX
Don't call to make sure. I got the same message as you did after doing the same thing (ranking PGY-1's on the main list). I actually called NRMP yesterday and they told me the same thing other posters mentioned above. The 'congratulations you matched!' message only shows up if you have a complete post-graduate education - you're going to be a radiation oncologist!! CELEBRATE!

Holy Craif ive said it once ive said it 1000 times; interview counts enormously. also, boards scores while very important, are not the be and end all of this process. congrats.
